did not meet tonight

It was already midnight, the sky was thundering and lightning, and it seemed that there was another storm. A slender figure with a basket avoided the servant and hurried through the courtyard. She came to a remote corner, glanced left and right, and squatted down. Take out a stack of paper ingots from the basket.These were all folded with white paper, there was no gold powder on them, but each one was delicate and small. She piled a few on the ground, lit them with a lighter, and continued to put them into the fire while paying attention to the movement around them.

The surroundings were so quiet, only the whistling of the wind was blowing, two murders happened one after another, and various rumors spread in the manor, the servants did not dare to come to these remote corners again.The flames jumped up, reflecting the girl's pale face, her slender fingers seemed transparent under the light of the fire, her white skirt was hanging on the ground, and fallen leaves floated over from time to time.

Suddenly a foot was stretched out to step on the fire, someone pulled her up forcefully and dragged her behind a big tree.Lightning suddenly pierced the sky, illuminating the girl's terrified eyes. She looked at Xu Xueru, who was full of anger, with a look of bewilderment.Xu Xueru held her arm tightly, and reprimanded her in a low voice: "You don't want to die, you still come to this kind of place at this time!"

"I heard that if a dead person doesn't give paper money to the ghost, there is no way to be reincarnated." Chen Jing was still in shock, and said intermittently.

"Is this something you should worry about? If the master finds out, do you know what the consequences will be?" Xu Xueru was angry and anxious, "Chen Tai just died, and you burned paper money here. If people saw you and misunderstood you as a guilty conscience, you just kept going." You can’t explain it even with ten mouths!”

"But" Chen Jing wanted to explain.

"No, but, go back to my room and stay there, don't go anywhere!" Xu Xueru said sharply, leaned over and covered a few handfuls of soil on the ashes, pulled Chen Jing up and urged, "Go, come back with me! "

Chen Jing was staggered by her pull, stumbled and followed behind, and whispered: "Mom, I'm sorry, I made you angry, but I really just want to help him"

"If you have such a heart, the Chen family may not appreciate it. More is worse than less. Don't go out of your room these days. I will send servants to deliver you three meals a day." Xu Xueru looked nervous, She was paying attention to the surrounding environment on the way, and she knew that if she was bumped into by someone at this time, she would not be able to explain it clearly anyway.

"What about Aunt Yan, when will she come back?" Chen Jing asked.

"Come back?" Xu Xueru sneered twice, "Whether she can leave the room alive is a question!"

"Why? Aunt Yan didn't kill anyone. Dad should let her go soon, right?" Chen Jing asked suspiciously.Xu Xueru stopped, and the lightning suddenly lit up, her eyes were extremely terrifying: "That man is not your father, he is nothing!"

Chen Jing was frightened and shrank back: "I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time, I'm sorry"

Seeing her like this, Xu Xueru couldn't bear to say anything, and dragged her all the way back to the small building where she lived.Yan Meilan, who took care of her daily life, was put under house arrest as a suspect, and now only Chen Jing lived here. Xu Xueru took the key from her and opened the door, and Ning who lit up the living room said: "I have to go back to take care of the master, be good. Stay inside the house, don't run around, you know?"

"Then how is he doing now?" Chen Jing asked standing at the door, the light was shining softly, and the stains on the white skirt were clearly visible.

"He lives a better life than us." Xu Xueru sneered, glanced at her and said, "Go back and take off the skirt and throw it away. If anyone asks, you just say that it was accidentally dropped and dirty."

Chen Jing nodded, closed the door and walked in.The living room is not big, but the decoration is very dreamy. The curtains are pink tulle, plush dolls are placed everywhere, and every piece of furniture is pure white piano lacquer, which looks pure and dreamy.Chen Jing went to the bedroom. The princess bed with light pink gauze curtains was big and soft, and was tied up with a white rattan ball on all sides. She opened the closet, and there were all white dresses inside, as if this was the only color in her life. .

She took one at random, walked into the bathroom, turned on the faucet to fill the bathtub with water, then unzipped the strap of the skirt in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and took it off.The mirror reflected her flawless white body, her skin glowed like cream, her legs were straight and slender, her waist was slender, her shoulders had a natural and perfect curvature, her collarbone was clear, and her white chest trembled slightly with her breathing.Her face looks so pure, like a lily that hasn't bloomed yet, but her figure is already mature, with a perfect blend of childishness and sexiness, she is naturally full of extreme attractiveness.

She took off her last clothes and stepped into the bathtub. The water was warm and wrapped her up. Her head rested on the edge of the bathtub, her long hair spread along the surface of the water, floating like seaweed.

She picked up a handful of warm water, raised her hand high, and sprinkled it on her face.Drops of water slid down her face and flowed into her slightly parted lips. She giggled, her body slowly slid down and sank into the bathtub, leaving only her face floating on her back.

The light in the bathroom was bright, she watched quietly, and then her entire face was submerged in the water, leaving only her black hair floating.

There were several intermittent torrential rains that night. Chen Zhe contacted the mountain early in the morning and learned that most of the mountain roads have been cleared and the police will arrive soon. He was finally relieved.Xiao Yu said his guess, Chen Zhe thought for a while, and quickly listed several remote places without cameras installed, including the woods where Ye Jian was attacked before, the flower room, the small building where Chen Jing lived, and several other places.

He remembered something and said, "The gardener asked for leave a while ago, and now the gardener is taking care of the flower room."

"That means it's not only remote, but also unattended?" Xiao Yu asked with a frown.

"Yes, the gardener is in charge of the entire courtyard, and will only go there to adjust the temperature when the weather changes." Chen Zhe suddenly understood what he meant, "Do you think that place is the most suspicious?"

"It's not sure yet, let's take a few people over to have a look." Xiao Yu said.

Chen Zhe nodded, and called someone over to make arrangements. Besides them, there were several other teams to check in other places.Ye Jian was worried about Yu Yuanyuan being alone, so he stayed here for emergencies.Yu Yuanyuan boiled a pot of longevity porridge in the kitchen, and was about to deliver it to Chen Qiankun. A maid happened to leave with a food box, and Ye Jian asked, "Is she also delivering food?"

"Well, Aunt Yan has been locked up, and now she is taking care of Jing'er." Yu Yuanyuan replied.

Ye Jian remembered that he hadn't seen Chen Jing since Chen Tai's accident, Yu Yuanyuan looked at the time and said, "I'll send the porridge to Uncle Chen first, A Jian, stay here and don't run around."

"You treat me like a three-year-old child!" Ye Jian said casually.

"You are always impulsive. You can disregard your own safety for the sake of others. I have to take good care of you when Brother Xiao is not here." Yu Yuanyuan said seriously.

"Okay, okay, don't run on me here, go quickly." Ye Jian urged her.

Yu Yuanyuan left with the thermos. As soon as she left, Lu Yaning hurried in from the door. She hadn't gone out for a few days, and even though her face had been meticulously modified with cosmetics, she couldn't hide the embarrassment in her expression.She looked around the living room and asked urgently, "Where is Brother Zhe, where is Brother Zhe?"

"The young master just went to the flower room." A servant replied.

Lu Yaning turned around and was about to leave, Ye Jian reminded her: "They are looking for Chen Tai's body."

Lu Yaning paused, took two steps back and returned to the living room, turned her head and glared at Ye Jian, then asked the servant: "I just heard that the way down the mountain has been cleared?"

"Yes, the police will be here soon." The servant replied.

"Let the driver take me down the mountain, I'm going down the mountain now!" Lu Yaning grabbed her arm and shouted.

"I can't decide this matter, I still need to ask the master for instructions." The servant replied in a businesslike manner.

"I can't decide what to do! I've had enough of this place, I don't want to stay here for a minute, I'm leaving, I'm leaving now!" Lu Yaning shouted angrily, she just wanted to sleep on Chen Tai's head for two days , I broke out in a cold sweat.

"Miss Yaning, please calm down, I will report to the master now, please wait here for a while." The servant said.

Lu Yaning sat down on the sofa, fear made her no longer able to maintain her elegance, she looked around like a frightened bird.Xiang Jingyu walked in from the door, he had already heard the conversation just now, and said: "Miss Lu doesn't need to be so nervous, since the road has already been opened, I believe Uncle Chen will make arrangements soon, we just need to wait in peace .”

"Two people have died in a row. You can wait, but I can't wait!" Lu Yaning said, "The murderer may still be in the manor, with such a terrible person, can you feel at ease? Stay one more day, Maybe the next victim is you, or me, have you ever thought about it?"

"Miss Lu thinks too much. This is the first time I have come to Chen's house, and I am an unknown passer-by in TV dramas. I am also very sad about Brother Tai and Miss Lu, but these have nothing to do with me. All I can do now is try not to cause trouble to the Chen family." Xiang Jingyu seemed much calmer, probably as he said, he was just a passerby.

"Bao Qian is also a guest, the murderer can kill her in front of so many people, how can you be sure that you are safe?" Lu Yaning refuted him with a sneer.

"The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, of course I am not afraid." Xiang Jingyu said calmly.

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Yaning is now in a state of desperation, jumping up from the sofa upon hearing this.

"I'm just telling the truth. Killing is also based on motivation. I'm new here, and it's the first time I've met everyone. No matter what, the murderer can't find me." Xiang Jingyu's words are indeed reasonable, but these words are in the Lu Yaning heard another meaning.

"Are you saying that I have a ghost in my heart, so I want to leave in a hurry?" She said angrily, "Xiang Jingyu, I was polite to you before because of the Xiang family's face, don't push your nose Face, blood is spraying here!"

Although Xiang Jingyu has a good temper, he can't stand being pointed at and scolded by others. Besides, so many things have happened recently, everyone is more or less unhappy. At this time, he doesn't talk about politeness anymore. He looks at Lu Yaning coldly and says : "The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. I just said something casually. What is Miss Lu so nervous about?"

"You..." Lu Yaning was impatient, her face flushed red.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Ye Jian hurried out to smooth things over: "Chen Zhe and Xiao Yu just went to the flower room, and the police are coming soon. Even if they want to leave, they have to wait until the investigation is over, so everyone just bear with it." .”

Lu Yaning was so angry that there was no place to tear it apart, and seeing him became even more angry: "Who are you, and you are worthy of being here to instruct us what to do? I will go to my uncle now and ask him to arrange a driver to take me down the mountain. You can stay in the Let's accompany that murderer here!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and stepped on her high heels and left aggressively. Ye Jian and Xiang Jingyu looked at each other, feeling helpless.
